DD,
we drove along there in April this year. We drove from Kintore along the Desert Rd to Kunawarritji, then along the Wapet Rd to 80 mile beach. It was just after the very heavy rains in March and the Grt Sandy Desert didn't look like a desert (grass, water birds etc). The road was slow going in places due to washaways and many diversions into the scrub. I don't know who runs the Well 33 roadhouse now as it changed hands after we visited, but they would be the ones to ask, or the bloke from VKS737 who maintains the road reports.

Hi DD,

we have been travelling on the Wapet track during August 2004 from
Well 33 to 80 mile beach. Travelling is still nice and easy despite of corrugations, washouts and a few sandy stretches.
All windmills are broken, but in a few places (towards the GNHWY) blue plastic tanks with emergency water have been put along the track. Compared to
previous trips the track has deteriorated. It has become narrow across the
bigger and capped sandhills due to deep washouts. These spots will become the problem spots after more heavy and prolonged rain falls.

good luck
Andy
